I just changed the battery in my trusty Petral, and for the first time, I got a warning (it was in yellow, so I assume it's a warning...) that said "Watchdog Reset" and then a "Confirm" request... Which I did.
I had a look on the SW website and downloaded a fresh manual, which suggests that there could be a hardware issue or a battery "bounce" whatever that is. The only other mention of it was something about a firmware update that fixed this, and a suggestion that this "Watchdog" was triggered after the battery was out for "several hours"... which mine was not... just long enough to clean and lube the o-ring.
Everything appears to be running fine... so more curious than anything, since I have not seen this before. Do I need to be concerned?
Can someone explain, please and thank you!
